E-Learning for GP Educators PDF

This work includes a Foreword by Mayur Lakhani, Chairman of Council, Royal College of General Practitioners.

General practitioners, as a widely dispersed group, are particularly reliant on e-learning.

This book provides an overview of the topic and examines the past, present and future challenges, opportunities and benefits.

With chapters devoted to creating a website, running short courses and standards and accreditation, this guide explores both vocational training and continuing professional development.

It presents an evidence-based, practical approach for healthcare educators and practitioners with teaching responsibilities, course organisers and healthcare professionals with an interest in e-learning. "Excellent. Leading edge. As a practising GP I know just how hard it can be to keep up to date in a generalist discipline and showing progress.

Having access to information is the straightforward bit - processing it and embedding it into clinical practice is the much bigger challenge as this book rightly points out.

As a user of e-learning, I know how useful this technique can be if undertaken properly and to a defined standard.

I have no doubt that this book will be a valuable contribution, creating an innovative learning culture and society in healthcare." - Mayur Lakhani, in his Foreword.
